Pediatric Surgical Procedures (Atlas of the Urologic Clinics of North America)

Although pediatric urology has evolved as a subspecialty requiring fellowship training, many general urologists continue to care for children. Therefore, an update of the changes in the field, particuiarly of newly developed procedures, is appropriate. Dr. Anthony Caldamone has assembled an excellent group of topics and authors reviewing both common surgical procedures and new techniques in pediatric urology. Although it is recognized that the more common procedures will also be performed by general urologists, it is also recognized that the more complex ones will likely be referred to specialists in the fleld. This update is important because the information provided will help to properly counsel patients and families regarding appropriate patient care.
